HyQuant Edge L – All-in-one water level monitoring radar station
All-in-one water level monitoring radar station
  • Fast deployment: All-in-one (sensor, logger, modem, telemetry), HyQuant Edge L requires only power and a SIM to start operating. Its compact form and low weight enable quick mounting on bridges or other constrained locations. Open interfaces support any cloud-based system, and optional pre-configured links to KISTERS datasphere enable immediate cloud data transmission.
  • Remote management:Remote configuration and OTA firmware updates reduce site visits. Continuous health monitoring helps detect power or connectivity issues early, minimizing downtime.
  • Future-Proof:software upgrades to HyQuant Edge L+V (level + velocity) or Q (discharge) add functionality without hardware changes.
  • High precision long-term stable radar performance:The integrated 60 GHz FMCW radar-on-chip ensures superior accuracy and resolution, unaffected by temperature or ageing, ensuring drift-free long-term stability.
  • Get Data When It Matters:Adaptive algorithms dynamically adjust transmission intervals to site conditions, delivering relevant data while minimizing power use. Periodic logging captures all changes, with all data securely stored and automatically transmitted once connectivity returns. Optional Solar Power Pack enables fully autonomous, off-grid operation.
  • Secure, end-to-end connectivity: LTE Cat M1 / NB IoT enables reliable wireless transmission even from remote sites. TLS 1.3 with unique device and server certificates ensures secure, authenticated, data exchange. Secure boot guarantees only trusted firmware runs. Standard protocols (MQTTS, HTTPS, SFTP) and data formats for file-based data transfer support easy integration with any data platform – no vendor lock-in.
